Review by Denise M. Clark (011102) Rating (9/10) Review
by Denise M. Clark Long estranged from her mother, Krista only goes out of a sense of duty and a deeply hidden longing to see Dane again. Arriving in Taos, Dane shows Krista a unique journal of her mother's that Krista reluctantly begins to read. Torn by hurt, confusion and anger, Krista strives to understand the strained relationship that has existed between her and her mother, never expecting that the moment she reads the first note, a great emotional journey would rock her to her very foundation. This journey of self-discovery tests not only her beliefs, but also her faith and ultimately, her ability to forgive, not only her mother but also herself, and to love and be loved in return. There
are not enough adjectives to convey the special and endearing
message contained within the pages of 'Christmas Every Morning'.
Ms. Bergren has written a heart-wrenching yet glorious testament
to the power of forgiveness and the healing balm of love. Her
pages are willed with poignant, bittersweet emotions
from
the pangs of guilt to the thrill of understanding. Ms. Bergren's
writing style is compelling yet compassionate, her ability to
evoke all the senses a rare treat, and her ability to wreak havoc
on an emotional level brilliant. |
